What do you think of Keira/Kira?

Also, which spelling is best?  Keira is more common but I'm worried it will get confused with Kiera.

I'm confused. Is Keira and Kiera pronounced differently? I've only known 2 Kieras and one was a dog.

It depends on how you want people to pronounce it, Kira or Keera. Kiera is normally key-ara.

Both are NMS, because of Keira Knightly, but if I had to choose I'd go with Kira.

Keira - Keer - uh

Kiera - Key - er - uh

That's why spelling it Kira might be less confusing.

Around here Kira is the most popular spelling.  And I prefer it that way.  Go with Kira.

I'd go with Keira if you want the KEER-ah pronunciation.

Kira looks like K-eye-rah to me. Like rhymes with Tyra.

Ciara (pronounced Keer uh) is the original. Kira is a variant, and so is Kiera. Keira. Keira was made popular because of the actress of Pirates fame. I prefer Kira and Ciara, but I can see going either way.

And I don't really care for it (I have a think about K names), but I don't see anything wrong with a legit name. My guess is that Keira Knightly's parents didn't know how to spell it. Same thing happened to Shia LaBeouf.

I like Ciara. But I also like Kyra, like Kyra Sedgwick.

if I saw Kira it would automatically say K-eye-rah (like somebody previously said rhymes with Tyra)  I like Keira

and when I see Ciara I would say See-a-rah with a soft C not hard like K

The only one I know spells it Ceire. pronounced Keera.

Actually I know a Kira who pronounces it "Cara" and it drives me nuts looking at it.

I like it. We have a friend whose daughter is Kyra, pronounced KEER-UH.
